DIG/ The 6th edition of the Africa Investment Forum (AIF) 2024 Market Days was held from December 4 to 6, 2024 in Rabat, Morocco on the theme: “Leveraging innovative partnerships to scale up.”
No less 2000 investors from 83 countries and more than 200 major institutions met for three days to conduct negotiations and build significant partnerships.
In his speech, the President of the African Development Bank Group, Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina, recalled the vital importance of this event to accelerate investments on the continent.
With a population that will double to 2.4 billion people by 2050, Africa represents a unique opportunity for investors.
“Demand for housing is expected to generate a $1.4 trillion investment opportunity,” said Dr. Adesina, highlighting the economic potential of sectors such as food, agriculture and infrastructure.
The AIF is distinguished by its triple mandate: advance projects towards bankability, raise capital and accelerate their financial close.
In five editions, the AIF has already mobilized $180 billion in investment interest for the continent.
With 41 active trading rooms, Market Days 2024 aims to bring to fruition projects with a total value of more than $15 billion.
